D'Andre Swift vs Rhamondre Stevenson: The Full Breakdown

Deciding between D'Andre Swift and Rhamondre Stevenson is a common lineup dilemma for fantasy managers. The Chicago Bears running back put up 13.2 PPG in 2025 over 16 games; Rhamondre Stevenson of the New England Patriots averaged 11.6 in 14. A 1.6-point margin that could shift on any given week.

The per-game difference of 1.6 points favors D'Andre Swift, though savvy managers know that gap can shrink or widen depending on the weekly slate. Defensive matchup, recent scoring trends, and health status all shift the calculus from one running back to the other.

Both profile as early-down workhorses. D'Andre Swift ran for 1087 yards and 9 touchdowns; Rhamondre Stevenson posted 603 and 7. Goal-line share, red zone touches, and which team is favored are usually the tiebreaker when neither back offers passing-game volume.

One scheduling note: D'Andre Swift is off Week 10 and Rhamondre Stevenson Week 11. If these two are on your roster, you will need a fill-in running back for both weeks. DraftCall flags bye conflicts so you can plan ahead rather than panic on waivers.

Trade Value + Dynasty Outlook

Both are in a similar trade value range. A straight swap would be fair in most leagues, with the tiebreaker going to whichever manager values schedule or bye week more. Dynasty outlook: D'Andre Swift (age 27) is approaching the age where RB production historically drops. Sell-high window is open. Rhamondre Stevenson (age 28, 4 years) is past the typical RB peak. Redraft value exceeds dynasty value.
